So, one day in the chat, a player clued me to the fact that the LA12 is more powerful than the RG16. At R3, it's not that far behind the RG16 in terms of magazine damage. Then, when you factor in the OH, it's likely more powerful. I'm thinking, sure at optimal range, it very likely is. But, what about below optimal range? Would it be viable for the Zep? I see some people running dual LA10 on the Zep to some effect. And I'm thinking it would make the Ares a killer sniper - and most dual LA12s I see out there are mounted on Ares. On a maxed Stalker though...wow. Heck, even Brickhouse would be dangerous.
I don't think I would be picking it up, but I guess for new players who have the option and don't want/can't wait to get RG16, it's definitely viable. I'm not too fond of sniper builds myself so RG16 Guardian is enough for me.

I am very happy with my RG16 Panther. I might try a second sniper build with LA10 and 12 since you have piqued my curiosity. 😀 If I were newer to the game LA12s would be something to consider 🤔. I didn't use to like sniper builds but now I do. LA12s seem a cheaper and easier way to go given what you said about power.
Edit: Well I don't actually Have LA12, so LA10 and 8 it will have to be. 😆

I am planning to buy it once it comes available for $. I won't be in a rush to level it but I would definitely like to have a solid second sniper. I have faced a few people running it either as dual or as RG16+LG12 and it seems like it works very well. I've even faced a few people who have cut me apart with LA10s and high-levelled pilots. I personally haven't faced any humans running Longarm Zephs - honestly I thought that only AI ran that.
